Bro, that cooler is sic...

I've been reading up on your RC stuff, good times... I have an RC buggy...runs about sixty or so, and will do 80 with a lipo battery...

I had to giggle reading about the finger chopper and the spare rotor blades... I had an RC plane at one time, and can't count the number of times I got whacked on the fingers with that thing... I learned after a while to carry a rag with me for times when it started backwards, or when I just wanted to kill the motor without hurting the prop....

We had a guy in the club that was a masterful builder, but couldn't fly for anything... He would spend months building a plane worthy of the Smithsonian, and refused to use a buddy box with a good pilot, so when it was time to fly, everyone would gawk at the plane, take lots of pics, and know that it was time to get in the hangar (shed) until the flight terminated, which was usually within 30-45 seconds of liftoff...

Rollout, rotate, lift the nose, straight up, tail flip, straight down at full throttle, nose plant the motor about a foot deep in Texas caliche, quite an accomplishment, as this stuff is way harder than concrete...

We kept a shovel and a rock bar in the hangar just due to this guy... Any of us would have paid upwards of a thousand dollars for his planes, but he wouldn't build them for anyone else...

I was on a buddy box a couple of times. Not a lot of helo folks around here so it was hard to find one. He made all sorts of adjustments then ran the hell out of it. Felt like the kids in Back to the Future when Michael J. Fox is riding there scooter like a skateboard! He made the helo go inverted/sideways/upside down even! Watching him work the controller I knew I wouldn't master this. Watching a helo in an inverted hover about 10 feet away is awesome. Of course, he put it back (at my request) so it would not go inverted by accident. I've dug blades out of the dirt and have recovered it from the pool a time or two.....

From your mind!!! Mystic holds records and it's an awesome design! I love seeing the long haired pilot (do you call them that?) kiss that guy on the cheek after the run. He was very very very pleased!!!

Norm,

I am glad you like the cooler.....When I saw it I knew it was for you. The blue color will match you LED's you have installed. It just looked so cool when I saw it and I knew we would need it for our installation projects, LOL.

I am sure it will be full at the next Fbodygathering.....well till we get into it.
